The heart of any great residency program is the residents.
While the curriculum and faculty provide the structure for your training, the most critical element is the community you build with your co-residents. They are the family you celebrate with after a great shift and the support system you rely on during a tough one.
At Northern Westchester, this sense of community is even more profound. Every resident you see on this page is a pioneer. They didn’t just join a culture; they are actively building it.
From our senior PGY-3s who are now setting the standard, to our newest PGY-1 interns who bring fresh energy and perspective, each person here is a foundational part of the home we are building together.
Below, you won't just see a list of residents; you'll meet the architects of our community. We invite you to get to know our family.
